The highest rates of violence against women in Kenya
Prevent, connect, empower
Prevent
Regular community dialogues that challenge the attitudes behind violence, with men, youth, leaders, churches and boda-boda riders.
Connect
Trained community champions give first support and walk with survivors to health, police and legal services, if they want that.
Empower
Safe spaces, savings groups and links to enterprise funds, so women and young people are not trapped by money.
Built for women and girls with disabilities. They face up to ten times the risk of sexual violence (UNFPA, 2026). Every activity is accessible: sign language, Easy Read and audio, accessible venues, and carers who support rather than speak for survivors.
Where we connect survivors
We do not provide counselling, shelter or case management. We make sure survivors reach the trained people who do.
If communities reject violence, people know where to turn, and women earn their own income, then violence falls and survivors get care in time.
Safety and privacy come first
- No survivor is ever named or shown.
- Stories and photos only with written, revocable consent.
- We keep as little personal information as possible, locked.
